Addresses bug #49083. Note that most of this page is redundant and should be folded into the pages linked to; there are already places in the manual for this information; they should be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-07-28 02:13:57] allyourcode at gmail dot com Description: ------------ http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.references.whatdo.php Near the bottom of this page (but before the notes), it says "The second thing references do". It later mentions a third thing that references do. Not remembering anything being mentioned as the first thing that references can do, I got a little confused. It took a bit of scrolling around and re-reading, but I eventually figured out the first thing was "PHP references allow you to make two variables to refer to the same content."
